Jeff has forgotten more about vipers than most will ever know.
Attitude
I'm sure he does have knowledge but that does not give him the right to say the things he says. Hope he just passes over my threads and keeps he advice or knowledge to himself. No one deserves the things he says. But, thank u for the advice. I appreciate it

Merged a couple threads together.
Hey hawk
Hey hawk, Can I pick your brain?,,
3 things... 1st, what would make my 10 cyl not shut off for 7 seconds after I turn the key off? 2nd, is it supposed to idle at 60# fuel pressure and be 60# down the road both or does the computer shut the pressure down at a idle?
And last, and 3rd, can u take a lasor temp test on the water outlet housing to see what temp it is fully warmed up
What ever u can help me with would b appreciated much

Hawk can chime in later, but I can answer #2. The fuel pressure should remain constant. I won't drive my truck again until Monday, but I'll get a laser temp reading on the water outlet housing then. Hawk can't do that because he sold his Viper powered beast earlier this year.
Mel,
I had to run to the hardware store today and I took the truck so I could grab some temperature readings. Here ya go:

Fuel pressure advice
Can some advise me on fuel pressure? On a 06, if I run a 65psi pump, will I need a regulator or will 65psi b regulated in the computer? Or maybe 65 is ok for idleing too?
As usual, thanks in advance for your knowledge

our trucks run at 60 psi from Idle to Red line.. Have a great day!
Merged threads, again.

As I am skimming over this thread, I am seeing a few (more) guys who make the age old mistake... and that is buying a Viper engine thinking its a piece of cake to integrate into a street rod or other oddball application. Why does no one seem to ask an actual Viper builder about these types of projects BEFORE buying the engine and shoe-horning it into the project?
Gen-2 based "crate engine" applications are much easier due to the Mopar wiring harness available to do it, and the new resurrected from the dead Crate Engine ECU that we brought back to market. Gen-3 on the other hand, is a tad more difficult to integrate using the OE engine management system. For a more complete solution, most people end up biting the bullet on a Stand-Alone based system.
If only I had a dollar for every customer who has beat down my door with this exact chain of events... and yet I believe out of all of those times, perhaps TWO of those customers actually got someone like me involved from the start. When you do, neat things become possible. The newest slated project is a Gen-3/Gen-4/Gen-5 based build, shoe-horned into a resto-mod 1969 Charger, running Twin Turbos, controlled by a Pectel SQ6M12, with a full color digital dash... The fun stuff
The last resto-mod project was a show stopper as well;
